Crazy body and structure for 43 yr old white wine...but this is 76 and God it feels like it wants to live forever. The type of floral off-sweetness that only the best producers can achieve...and almost oily envelope that still glistens on the rim! Simply magnificent! — 6 years ago

Dinner 11/29/17 with turkey pie and other dishes. Had to open two bottles! Popular with the kids! Again perfect example of old Riesling aged at the vineyard cellar all these years. Must be that freshness from the living molds! — 5 years ago

The nose reveals, lighter more subtle petrol characteristics, ripe golden apple, ripe fleshy pineapple , apricots, marmalade, lemon syrup, grapefruit with pith, honey, beeswax, a little lime candy, white spice, dry stones, yellow lilies and spring flowers.
The body is thick, rich, waxy and a touch syrupy. Dry, pineapple & apricots, golden apple, peach, lemon syrup, lime candy, some green apple, grapefruit with pith, marmalade, orange rind, fruit blossoms, honey, beeswax, soft delicate minerality, very light petrol notes, slate, white spice with yellow lilies and spring flowers. Acidity is round and magnificent. The 09 is in a good place with plenty of life ahead. The rich, lush, well balanced finish is persistent for minutes.
Excellent with spicy Asian food.
Photos of, the view across the river from their Weingut and their Bernkasteler Doctor Vineyard, the blue slate this wine grows in, Sofia Thanisch finishing up with a group before our one on one tasting and the view of Bernkasteler Doctor Vineyard from the other side looking down at the river. — 6 years ago
